The Oxford Shop stays true to roots after 55 years. The Tennessean January 6, 2016

A fashion movement is growing in Nashville as designers plant roots and new retail stores open, bringing influences from the coasts.

But one Green Hills retailer is celebrating decades of success by sticking to its core business model: high-end men’s clothing with a strong focus on customer service.

For 55 years, The Oxford Shop has been dressing customers ranging from high school students in need of a suit for homecoming to well-established business professionals.

“We feel like everyone wants to be here now because Nashville has become so popular in the last few years, but for us, it has always been the kind of ‘it city,’ ” said Eric Viars, who owns the store with David Garris.

Dress shirts, suits and ties help fill the 2,100-square-foot space at 3830 Bedford Ave. just west of The Mall at Green Hills. Viars and Garris purchased the commercial space in 2007, relocating the store from a busier shopping center near Trader Joe’s in favor of easier customer access and ample parking.

The Oxford Shop went through several ownership transitions before Viars and Garris purchased it in 1993 from a Louisville, Ky.-based company.

“I decided at an early age this is what I wanted to do,” Viars said about his career in the retail industry.

Now, the duo are proud to call The Oxford Shop an independently owned store.

“We feel like being part of the community and driving here and sending your kids to school here and doing business with other locally owned businesses, it’s a big deal for us,” Viars said.

The store’s inventory reflects its Nashville roots. Despite the city’s evolving fashion scene, Viars said his customers are still interested in traditional and high-end men’s clothing.

The store has experimented with women’s clothing in the past, but Viars said the space is too limited and he would need a separate buyer to support that department. Viars said he keeps up with fashion trends on frequent buying trips to New York and by talking with other retailers around the country.

“(Nashville) has always been kind of a Southern town with very traditional looks. That has evolved somewhat, I think, with the influx of people to Nashville, so it has gotten edgier, but I think it’s still, for the most part, very true to its roots,” Viars said.

The Oxford Shop’s main focus is made-to-measure shirts, pants, jackets and suits, led by master tailor Leo Alvarez. The store is an exclusive retailer for high-end menswear brand Samuelsohn. Some sportswear also is mixed in the store, including Peter Millar and Barbour brands.

Viars said the higher price points appeal to customers looking to invest in quality pieces.

“We truly look at what we sell as an investment in who you are and what you do. We just don’t take something and put a high price tag on it; there’s a certain level of craftsmanship and quality that comes along with it,” Viars said.

Like many independent retailers, The Oxford Shop had to weather hard times, particularly during the economic downturn when customers were tightening their wallets and as more consumers turn to online shopping for convenience. One challenge as a small-business owner is not having the same pricing leverage as chains and department stores that buy in bulk.

Viars said it is The Oxford Shop’s commitment to customer service that helps build a loyal client base — starting with customers as young as high school students.

“It’s all relationship driven with us. We know almost everyone who walks in the door. We know who they are, what they do, where they like to go,” Viars said.

As The Oxford Shop celebrates its 55th anniversary this year, Viars said he’s looking to move the business’s back office operations to a separate space because the store is at maximum capacity. He’s also working with a Web developer on a new website with the potential for an e-commerce component.

What They Should Wear: Men’s Spring Style

With a largely female audience, we do love talking about women’s fashion. However, from time to time, we like to turn the spotlight back to the guys, shedding some much needed light on what they should (and shouldn’t) be wearing. With Steeplechase, Mother’s Day and the bevy of May events coming up, we thought it was high time to call in the experts for some scoop on exactly what digs guys need to pick up for the season. Today, Chris Levy of Oak Hall Nashville, Eric Viars at The Oxford Shop, Klane Mapels of Flip Men’s and Wardrobe Consultant Rebecca Thompson are here to help you help him get spring style ready.

What is the most important thing a guy can have on hand for his spring wardrobe?

Sport coat

“You’ve got to have a lightweight, unstructured and unlined sport coat for spring. Brands like Eleventy and LBM do this the best. Be bold, and choose a subtle pattern in this style! Also, a great lightweight five-pocket pant like an AG Graduate fit will keep you cool and comfortable all season long.”

“Spring calls for lightening up on fabrics all around but especially in a sport coat or suit. Pick jackets that are softer in the shoulder, not fully lined and contain some linen in the blend. A 50% wool, 30% silk, 20% linen blend, for instance, is perfect for breathability and give any guy a lighter, less winter-weary look.”

Chino pants

“If I had to choose one thing to suggest for a guy to have on hand for his spring wardrobe it would be a nice-fitting pair of chino pants. Fit is everything! A slimmer fit has been trending for men for several years, and the new fabrics that are used in many jeans and chinos give a man the slim, trim look while still being comfortable. The right pants can be dressed up or worn with leather sandals.”

We love our sponsors!

What are your spring staples for 2017?

Something blue

Expert: Chris Levy, Oak Hall Nashville

“THE must-have item is anything in a high blue — such as a suit or sport coat.”

Expert: Eric Viars, The Oxford Shop

“Pinks and blues are big this spring. And every guy should have a really good pair of white jeans. Wear them with a lighter, casual Friday shoe, like the Peter Millar Summertime Sneaker.” Also, we’re excited to carry the new Peter Millar sunglasses that are 100% handmade in Italy. Our first order sold out in days, and we’re getting more in stat.”

Expert: Rebecca Thompson, Wardrobe Consultant

“A spring staple is a nice fitting sports jacket. Bright blue jackets rather than the traditional navy sports jackets are a nice spring look. There are also a lot of checked sports jackets that can be paired with multiple pants or jeans and a tee or dress shirt.”

Smart shoes

Expert: Klane Mapels, Flip Men’s

“A smart casual shoe for sure. We’ve seen the return of the canvas lace up and like it in white, grey or navy. Also, white, trim-fit jeans are popping up everywhere this year.”

How can men add a springy touch to everyday attire?

Lighten up your bottoms

Expert: Chris Levy, Oak Hall

“We recommend adding a lighter color or weight bottom. The heat regulating Brax pant, made of kapok and Pima is a favorite of ours to spring up a wardrobe.”

Wear linen

Expert: Eric Viars, The Oxford Shop

“Anything in linen, but especially a long-sleeved linen shirt with the sleeves rolled up, is a great look. A linen pocket square trimmed in a spring color is always a great way to add pizzazz and spring flair. Lighter, brighter and even loud socks are a dynamic way to show you’re not a cookie-cutter sort of guy. We’re encouraging men to wear socks that make a statement. Lavender or red with blue pinstripes? Go for it.”

Add color

Expert: Rebecca Thompson, Wardrobe Consultant

“A great way to add a spring touch to everyday men’s attire is to add color. The color should look good on his complexion. It can be aubergine if that works with his skin tone. If you like brighter colors and that works with his complexion and personality, go for it.”

We love our sponsors!

What is the most common mistake men make when dressing for spring?

Short sleeves and a tie

Expert: Chris Levy, Oak Hall

“Two common mistakes really stand out: a short sleeve dress shirt with suit and tie is a no-no. That look is only meant for casual sportswear. The other is wearing a fall heavy weight sport coat with spring shirt and pant.”

Tucking, when you should go untucked

Expert: Eric Viars, The Oxford Shop

“Tucking in shirts that are meant to be untucked is a sure way to put on 20 pounds. Just make sure the shirt is not too full cut or too long, and be sure to take any tags off around the edge.”

Wearing the wrong size

Expert: Rebecca Thompson, Wardrobe Consultant

“The most common mistake men make when dressing for spring is wearing ill-fitting clothes. Remember guys, you can have a trim look and comfort. Sizes are different from manufacturer to manufacturer and from different pants within the same line, so be willing to try different sizes rather than purchasing the same one you’ve always worn. If a man is purchasing a suit, it’s important to be measured to ensure the right fit.”

Pub inspectors from the company Cask Marque collected data from smart devices attached to beer taps in the UK in order determine which drinks come the dirtiest sources. It shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that busy bartenders neglect beer lines, those tubes that connect the taps to the kegs and deliver the drink to it’s glass—but that means that bars are probably serving drinks tainted with dirt and other germs.

Related

As part of the Beer Quality Report 2017, Cask Marque found that the beverage flowing through the dirtiest pipes is cider. 44 percent of the cider consumed by thirtsy pub goers was dirty . Stout lager wasn’t far behind, with 36 percent coming out of dirty beer lines. Overall, one in three pints are served from beer lines that are in need of a good washing.

Beer lines are supposed to be cleaned every seven days, but because they live behind the bar—and away from the eyes of prying customers—it’s easier to get away with letting the dirt and germs build up without anyone noticing.

The report also broke down beer quality by region: In the Southern UK, beer is both more expensive, and the least clean. You’re luckier if you’re from (or about to visit) the North East: Their beer is the best maintained.

“Cask Marque has spent almost 20 years banging the drum about beer quality, and still the message is not getting through to retailers,” said Paul Nunny, director of Cask Marque told The Morning Advertiser.

Since last year’s report, bars haven’t stepped up their game. Cask Marque also found that 6 percent of all pints are served too warm.

A warm beer teeming with germs sounds truly disgusting, but we doubt this report will actually drive anyone from the pub. After a few, who remembers what’s in their glass anyway.

Radnor Lake State Park is a 1,332-acre park and is protected as a Class II Natural Area. It is unique due to the abundance of wildlife viewing opportunities, environmental education programs, hiking opportunities and its location in an urban area. The park is day-use only and the more than six miles of trail are strictly used for hiking, photography and wildlife observation. Pets, jogging and bicycles are only allowed on the Otter Creek Road trail. The Lake Trail is accessible to people with all-terrain wheelchairs.

The park is perfect for nature enthusiasts to observe owls, herons and water fowl as well as many species of amphibians, reptiles and mammals such as mink and otter. Hundreds of species of wildflowers, mosses, fungi, ferns and other plants as well as trees, shrubs and vines add to the natural ecological diversity of the area. Several ranger-led programs are planned throughout the year including canoe floats, wildflower walks, astronomy night hikes, nature hikes, programs on snakes, off-trail land acquisition hikes and birds of prey.

First time visitors are encouraged to visit the Walter Criley Visitor Center to view interpretive exhibits on the history of the natural area, cultural/historical artifacts, wildlife displays, view a wall size map of the trail system and/or watch an 18 minute film on how the natural area was saved in the early 1970s.

In 2011, the Historic Valve House Trail opened for park visitors with recently completed interpertive panels focusing on the L & N Railroad construction of the dam in the early 1900s. Just a short 10 minute hike from the Walter Criley Visitor Center, this interpretive trail will be complete within the next 2 years with the construction of the Historic Valve-House.

The Barbara J. Mapp Aviary Education Center opened in May 2015 and houses several birds of prey ranging from great horned owls to bald eagles. This 550 foot boardwalk and aviary complex are the epicenter of our birds of prey programming and offer park visitors a unique opportunity unparalleled in Middle Tennessee.

The Friends of Radnor Lake help protect, preserve and promote the natural integrity of the park through a variety of environmental efforts. Thanks to their generosity and support, Radnor Lake continues to be a place of natural beauty and wonder, for all to enjoy.

YEAH! BURGER creates “Food You Can LoveSM” – food without harmful chemicals and heavy processing, food from farmers we know, and food that respects the environment and the humane treatment of animals. It’s the same type of food that inspired our founder, Erik Maier, to start YEAH! BURGER.

The name “YEAH! BURGER” is meant to convey a restaurant diners can be excited about because of its sustainable values and practices. While the name came quickly from a frequently used saying between friends, the idea for the company did not come to Erik overnight. Rather, it’s a concept that was generated thanks to many years of personal experiences.

The genesis for YEAH! BURGER’s “Keep It Real” philosophy can mostly be attributed to Erik’s childhood in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Thanks to his parents, he developed an appreciation for fresh, locally-grown food at an early age through his family’s organic garden and weekly visits to “Root’s”, a nearby farmers market founded in 1925.

As an adult, Erik was troubled by the lack of wholesome food he encountered during his travels as an accountant. He was later encouraged by the sustainable food movements taking hold in New York and California where he worked as an entrepreneur and music executive. Inspired, he couldn’t help but think there needed to be more healthful food options for the majority of the country.

After the much-hyped entertainment start-up he was working at collapsed during the Great Recession, Erik decided it was time to create a company that truly made a difference in people’s lives. The decision was an easy one – change fast food for the better!

To improve the game, Erik knew that he’d have to do more than just serve food that was better for his customers; he’d have to serve food that was better for the environment, for the farmers and for the animals they raise.

And so here we are today. We hope the world is just a little better with us around and that you’ll join us in helping to KEEP FOOD REAL!

FREEBIRDS TO OPEN ITS DOORS IN MIDDLE TENNESSEEAustin-based fast-casual restaurant brings fresh-made menu to Music City

NASHVILLE, TENN (May 13, 2016) – Freebirds World Burrito, an Austin-based fast casual eatery, is excited to announce the opening of its first Tennessee location in Nashville at 3800 Hillsboro Road in Green Hills. The restaurant, known for its fresh, made-to-order burritos, tacos, nachos, bowls and salads and commitment to high-quality ingredients, will open its doors in Nashville late this summer. The Green Hills location will be open daily for lunch and dinner; Sunday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. A Murfreesboro location is slated for late 2016, further details to be announced.

The Nashville location will feature the brand’s recent redesign, with modern industrial farmhouse-inspired textiles, including reclaimed wood and exposed brick, perfectly juxtaposed by contemporary, cold-rolled steel finishes. The space will also contain an open kitchen concept and an updated music playlist streaming through a premium sound system, exhibiting the brand’s passion for music. Guests will have the ability to participate in the in-line payment option with the use of digital tablets.

“We are incredibly excited for our entry into the Middle Tennessee market, and look forward to introducing our food story to new guests,” said President and COO Bobby Shaw. “We have spent a great deal of time in Nashville preparing for the opening and can’t express how grateful we are for the warm welcome we have received from the community.”
